Something is wrong in this nation   When a child can grab a guns   Grab a gun so easily and shoot a bullet   Into the middle of a child?s face as my daughter experienced   Something is wrong      First the gun draws and you know that something's happening   Then darkness falls and oh, your heart beats rapidly   Be prepared because war is coming   You can't be scared now when the streets is calling you      Good evening, my name's Mr. Bullet   I respond to the index when you pull it   The trigger, so make a note, take a vote   Quick man, nickname's Quaker Oates 'cause      Whether domestic violence or coke deals   See how less has changed, brain matter to oatmeal   And when I kill kids, they say shame on me   Who the fuck told you to put they names on me?      White man made me venom to eliminate   Especially when I'm in the hood, I never discriminate   Just get in 'em, then I renovate   Flesh, bone, ain't nothin? for me to penetrate      And it can happen so swiftly   One false move just might shift me   If I'm in lodged then your soul's not claimed   I will remind that ass when it's about to rain like      First the gun draws and you know that something's happening   Then darkness falls and oh, your heart beats rapidly   Be prepared because war is coming   You can't be scared now when the streets is calling you      Would the new method of murder be arson or firebombs   If the cost of a single bullet was more than the firearm?   Strange that is, when all exits are final   Point blank range that is      My attitude is cold and callous   Killed Kings in Tennessee, presidents in Dallas   And if the past be known, at last we know   What happened that afternoon on the Grassy Knoll      It's what made a widow of Jackie O.   The government hired Lee Harvey to blast me though   Fatality shot entered from the right temple   Was not fired from a six story window      Can it be that it was all so simple   But yet remains so painful to rekindle?   I come through your city, I'm hot whether you're jiggy or not   Whether your Biggie or 'Pac when the gun draws      First the gun draws and you know that something's happening   Then darkness falls and oh, your heart beats rapidly   Be prepared because war is coming   You can't be scared now when the streets is calling you, you, you
